Is there a way to do both the T-Mobile Pays My ETF thing, and also get signed up for the $30 web plan? It seems mutually exclusive, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

The ETF thing is for post-pay accounts only, the 30$ plan is pre-paid.

All my group texts in hangouts end up with a message prefix of <subject:nosubject> for all incoming texts. Googling around didn't seem to help, has anyone else fixed this?

Group texts are MMS. MMS messages can have subjects, hence that message.

Is there a way to disable visual voicemail permanently? Every time I turn it off, it doesn't stick.

It turned out to be an add on on her account, and she was being charged $5 a month for it. Calling Verizon got it removed, as it had to be done on their end. Maybe you have to do the same with T-Mobile? I've never had it, so I don't know how they handle it.

Ok I'm thinking about making the switch to T-mobile from AT&T. This is prompted by the fact that I am growing to hate my Galaxy S4 and really want the new iPhone when it comes out next month. I have 14 months left on my current contract and the ETF will be $250. I have a 10-month old Galaxy S4 in almost perfect condition to trade in. Am I understanding it correctly that I will get my ETF paid off *and* money for the old phone? Is it worth trading it in, or would I be better off trading in an old iPhone4 instead and selling the Galaxy on SA mart or something? The deal with the music streaming not counting toward your data sounds good -- but I couldn't find a list of acceptable services. Do streaming radio stations count? Also, one last question - are the T-mobile phones unlocked? I go to the UK a couple times a year and like to get a SIM to use while I'm there.

I think once you paid it off, you can have it unlocked. That what one of the rep told me.

The phone must be service 3 months and you have to have a good reason, which only weeds out people who don't have a legitimate reason or won't lie. Not sure about the ownership thing.

I left Verizon earlier this year, they had already cancelled my international data on me. Its good enough for email and iMessage and slow Facebook and Twitter as long as you are patient.

T-Mobile added more streaming services today. Grooveshark, Black Planet, Radio Paradise, Rdio, Songza, and Accuradio now don't count towards your data cap.

Grooveshark being added is pretty killer. Anyone have experience with those others? Still hoping Google Play gets added eventually.

Any updates of Tunein? I'll have to install Grooveshark, they seem to have a Theremin Channel. The theremin is one of the best instruments ever

Been shopping with the family for a new four line plan for the last week and we are just about ready to pursue the current $100 for 10GB plan. However, I also saw that Sprint had been goaded into a "me too" plan that prompted me to do some research. Sprint was not up to snuff in this case because they required all new phones to be purchased to be validated for the $100 20GB shared plan, and we are trying to stay out of subsidized phones by sticking with the GSM phones we already paid off. Now, am I correct in my understanding that the T-Mobile plan is $100 base for the four lines with $25 for each line out of contract, and I can use my phone instead of having to buy new ones as I will not be paying any ETF fee? Are there other charges included I am forgetting? Activation fees, sim cards, etc.? (Though the sims seem to be free on the website)

You are correct. One thing you should know is that the 10gb plan is not 10 gb forever. January 2nd 2016 the plan goes from 2.5gb per line to 1gb of data per line. If you go to a store to do it, it's 10 per sim to activate. That's it.

When Google play music gets added to the free streaming thing, do we know if that will be for just people with the premium accounts, or like will I be able to stream my uploaded music too? I realize this might be an impossible question to answer.

Qu Appelle posted:Any updates of Tunein? Not speaking from authority, but stuff like TuneIn and police scanners probably aren't feasible for free streaming. From appearances, the apps serve as front-end directories rather than central (re)hosting for streams, so T-Mobile would have to whitelist thousands of individual radio streams rather than "Pandora" and "gMusic" etc. Try the lower-bitrate alternate streams if you're burning through data.

Looks like T-Mobile is finally giving attention to Cincinnati and the surrounding sea of EDGE. LTE popped up in Cincinnati and my area has "unofficial" 3G. I am quite happy, I would love to ditch AT&T.

sweart gliwere posted:Not speaking from authority, but stuff like TuneIn and police scanners probably aren't feasible for free streaming. That makes a lot of sense, actually. I never thought of that. I don't burn through tons of data because I rarely use my phone for streaming. Luckily, I Heart Radio has some stations that I like, like the local classical station  and NPR  . With that, I find that the police scanner is the only thing I really listen to, so not much data gets burned up.

Is it my device or the network? HTC one m8. Whenever I fail over from LTE to 4G it takes about 4 minutes for data transfers to resume. The 4G symbol is there but nothing is happening. Dropping into and out of airplane mode makes it work.

What's the process for upgrading your device on a T-Mobile prepaid plan? Do I just go to a T-Mobile store and hope they have what I want? Do I buy it on my own and bring it to the store? Is there a process to do it online? Will I need a new SIM? Will I be able to keep my $30 100/unlimited/5GB dork plan? I've never actually gotten a new phone without switching carriers before.

Buy your phone and put your SIM into it. If your SIM doesn't fit that new phone you need to purchase a new SIM and call T-Mobile to swap the SIM. You can't move your SIM over online (or at least you couldn't in January this year)
